To Sail Forbidden Seas

Eurus, Caecias, Thrascias, Zephyrus
Meses, Notos, Lips, Apheliotes

Oceanus!
Tempest never-ending
O Tartarus!
Drowning, underneath the waves!

Cloud and squall and gale and hurricane
Drown in darkness, never to breathe again

Douse the sails, batten down!
See the waves, feel the wind rising
Strike the spars, go below
Descend!

Fork-flamed fire, thunder-cloven
Mountains climb, voids for vales
Hither, yon, tossed over and under
Cling to the key 'til the tides turn

Running onward, all together now
Sweep the storm clouds from your blackened brow
Fall to, nearly height, hearts, cheerily
Dance, white water, and sing, skies
Burst your wind
